Very loud squeaking noise after the ignition is turned on. Could use some help resolving!

05 LGT 2.5L sedan, 120k miles

i’m very young (17) and still learning about cars! But within the past week or so, the car has been making this very loud squeaking sound and gets even worse when I turn the wheel, it does not stop until I drive forward about 10-15 feet or so. power steering fluid has been replaced as well. 
 

any sort of feedback will be appreciated! Thank you!

I would check the tension and condition of the v-belts, particularly the one to the power steering pump (towards the passenger side at the front of the engine).

Yes, check the accessory belts. I had a similar issue and the PS belt was about to disintegrate! Catch it before it does. If that is the problem, it is an easy fix.

If you actually want to sell it, post it for $6K and take $5K when its offered.

Wrong thread maybe?

 

As far as belt sqeak goes tho, it's worth knowing that the belt dressingin a spray can isn't the greatest stuff to solve the issue, as it tend to wear away and is designed to be slightly tacky and help with adhesion.

An old hand mechanic once told me to use fine chalk or talcum powder, which feel "soft" but is actually ever so slightly abrasive, and will act as a micro-sandpaper on the belt surface. Scuffing it up just enough that it will gain back some grip on to the pulleys.
